The concept also incorporates several new technologies not seen on conventional EVs. It features a multi-speed transmission with electro-mechanical shifting, as well as a ‘Powershot’ button, which adds a quick burst of acceleration.
Dodge claims the car is equipped with a special “Fratzonic chambered exhaust” system, which emits a 126dB noise – as loud as a 787bhp V8-powered Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.
The system consists of an amplifier and tuning chamber that are both positioned at the rear of the car, Dodge says. Watch the video below to see just how loud the Charger SRT Daytona SRT concept really is.

The Charger Daytona SRT’s design resembles the standard Charger’s but the firm says aerodynamics have been improved with a bespoke R-Wing and performance bonnet.
Inside the car, the Charger Daytona SRT is fitted with a 12.3in screen and a 16in curved instrument cluster. There’s also an 8.3in head-up display and ultraviolet design features and ambient lighting.
The model’s lightweight seats also feature the Fratzog logo and blue plasma and silver stitching.
The firm claims the car is as practical as it is fast, with flat-folding rear seats and more storage space than in any previous Dodge muscle car.
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said: “The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept exists because performance made us do it. Dodge is about muscle, attitude and performance, and the brand carries that chip on its shoulder and into the BEV segment through a concept loaded with patents, innovations and performance features that embody the electrified muscle of tomorrow.
